Vince actually tried that trick Aus2000. He put the manifold just over the stud, he even shaved down the nut. If you look closely at the nut in the picture, it was actually grinded down on the sides. The only choice left was to grind a significant amount of material from the runner, which was not happening. If you guys also look at the bolt holes on the manifold, you can see how tight the studs are to manifold bolt holes. This was after Vince enlarged the holes with a drill bit.

 

that is really crappy; i'm glad i paid a little more and got a well known, tried and true kit (inlinepro)

 

If this isn't fixed I don't see why Track Forged shouldn't be banned from the forums. The fact that they are a sponsor shouldn't make a difference.

 

looks to me that they are not going to reply.... they just posted up a group buy for rad cooling plate and are completely ignoring this thread.

 

25% restocking fee means "gimme yo money anyways."

 

This really hurts me, not as much as the OP, but still to a point. I talked to Forged for months before buying a kit. After something like this, I'm kinda embarrassed to install it and pissed cause I doubt I'll be able to sell it.

 

They can easily respond and make things right before it gets too out of hand but it seems like they don't care

 

I take it Trackforged and ChaserAero are best friends.

 

And just like that someones reputation is ruined. I would have easily refunded 75% of the money and called it a day if it was my business.

 

Thanks for all the support guys, but it seems like Trackforged does not want to resolve this with me. My bank is still on my side, and I just submitted all the paper work, photos, receipts, and second opinions necessary to make my case stronger. I was talking to my bank yesterday, and they told me there are laws that prevent merchants from taking your money without any goods received. I will update you guys when I get a word from my bank, although it might take some time. Thanks again!
